He assists in preparing, filing, and reviewing monthly, quarterly, and annual BIR tax returns, and coordinates with in-house finance teams and external auditors to ensure accurate reporting and timely compliance. Clients benefit from consolidated tax planning that considers both legal risk and financial impact, reducing exposure to penalties and streamlining internal processes.

His professional background includes practice at SGV & Co., the Philippine affiliate of Ernst & Young (EY), under the Business Tax Services Group, and Ocampo & Manalo Law Firm, one of the country’s most respected firms. This combination of Big Four tax experience and top-tier legal training informs his practical, business-oriented approach.
